Homework Statement
I understand the problem conceptually. I just need help solving for x, which is the hardest part of the problem for me.
1/2mv^2 = 1/2kx^2 + umgx
The Attempt at a Solution
Not really sure how to solve this. I tried and tried to separate by x but nothing worked. Here are 1 of the attempts I suppose. I feel pretty stumped here.
[tex]1/2mv^2 = 1/2kx^2 + umgx[/tex]
[tex]1/2mv^2 - umgx = 1/2kx^2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{mv^2}{k} - \frac{2umgx}{k} = x^2[/tex]
?
